DirectX Audio and DirectShow

So far in our tutorials we have used Direct3D and DirectInput for graphics and user input. Now I'm going to introduce you to two more components of DirectX: DirectX Audio and DirectShow. We use DirectX Audio to play wav and midi audio files. We use DirectShow to play streaming media such as full motion video (avi) and high quality audio (mp3) files. In this tutorial we will only be looking at how to play mp3's with DirectShow.
